    What are these markings on my word document?
    « on: September 03, 2008, 10:57:20 PM »
    Hey all,

    I have these markings on my word document that I can't get rid of.

    They are in all four corners of the page, and look like this ...

    _|                   |_




    _                      _
      |                    |

    I can't for the life of me work out how to get rid of them.

    Thanks for your help.

    Jake.

    I have them too. (I think everyone has them).

    They are there to help you identify the margin.

    they aren't printed, so it can't possibly be that annoying...
    I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

      Although I can't see why they are annoying- it's would kind of like getting pissed off at ruled paper, and switching to blank, because the blue is so distracting.

      .....


      hey wait a second? I don't have those in my word docs, so I wonder why you have'em?

      Read my link.  It may be the reason he can't get rid of them.
